Additional Information: The public water supply, fish consumption, and general uses are fully supported. 2002 Texas Water Quality Inventory Page : 2 (based on data from 03/01/1996 to 02/28/2001) This segment was identified on the 2000 303(d) List as not supporting the aquatic life use due to depressed dissolved oxygen. Because an insufficient number of 24-hour dissolved oxygen values were available in 2002 to determine if the criterion is supported, this segment will be identified as not meeting the standard for dissolved oxygen until sufficient 24-hour measurements are available to demonstrate support of the criterion.
